Night out?

I am EBF my 8 month old son, and my husband and I have tickets to a concert this Friday night. My MIL is going to watch our son for us, but I have concerns about how to handle missed feedings. We are planning to leave at 6:30 and return around 11:45 or so, which means that I will probably miss 2 feedings around 8:30 and 10:30, and I am prone to plugs. Considering we will be at an outdoor concert venue, I don't think that it will be possible to pump. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Night out?

Take a small ice chest or bag to keep in the car with what you express and you could pump/express in the car on the way there and then on the way home if it is a long drive.

Depending on pump you could use manual, battery power or get a little inverter to plug the pump in (beware some pumps are actually too powerful to plug into the inexpensive little lighter inverters though.)
